It is your choice to post this, but this guy is the last pitcher on this team i am gonna throw shade at. Facts are facts. It is not an overarching judgment of Whitlock to say that he was hit hard. To say otherwise is just denial. He was hit hard, but based on the angle off the bat those batted balls are outs more often than not. I mean the first one was a grounder that happened to be down the first baseline.

One of the things Billy Beane mentioned is if the other team is going to screw up, please don’t get in their way and disturb them. Let them continue to screw up. Whether it was bunting and giving you ours or stealing bases, let them mess up, don’t get in their way.
With the Red Sox it is simple, if the other pitcher is going to continue to throw pitch after pitch out of the strike zone including 3-2 pitches that are not close, please do not disturb them by swinging. If they are going to mess up and walk you and give you a free base, please do not do anything such as swinging to turn down their generosity.

And KC has tied the MFYs, 3-3!
As previously disclosed on this board and to my therapist, I obsess with the MFYs under all circumstances, even when we're tied in the eight against the team we're chasing for first place.

Facts are facts. It is not an overarching judgment of Whitlock to say that he was hit hard. To say otherwise is just denial. That is your take. I don't want to get into a back and forth, as I believe people should post freely. However, Pitchers get hit hard sometimes and the results are 3 outs. I just think, with this guy, I mean............he has been unbelievable. Absolutely agree on Whitlock to date. We do not have a shred of disagreement on that point.

As previously disclosed on this board and to my therapist, I obsess with the MFYs under all circumstances, even when we're tied in the eight against the team we're chasing for first place. Tied the score on a steal of 3rd and bad throw. Meanwhile we don't elect to steal with Duran. Why?

JDM is responsible for one run from his bad decision to throw to third on Lowe's single off of Whitlock and he's completely lost at the plate. He needs to take a few days off.
